Lock focus because auto focus for this kind of thing will almost always result in blurry photos

I feel like people should do that a lot more often than they do, just in general. Especially when using a DSLR to make a video of a subject that isn't moving around much.

(This is really just venting because I watch too many Youtube videos where they complain about the autofocus not working well.)

Yeah, I don't watch many of them. Wish they figured out that one better. My bigger gripe is when they lean away from the mic. Video is hard enough to edit, audio even more so.
